Abstract. An improved estimate is obtained for the mean square of the modulus of the zeta function on the critical line. It is based on the decoupling techniques in harmonic analysis developed in [B-D].
We prove new bounds for weighted mean values of sums involving Fourier coefficients of cusp forms that are automorphic with respect to a Hecke congruence subgroup Γ ≤ SL(2, Z[i]), and correspond to exceptional eigenvalues of the Laplace operator on the space L 2 (Γ\SL(2, C)/SU (2)). These results are, for certain applications, an effective substitute for the generalised Selberg eigenvalue conjecture. We give a proof of one such application, which is an upper bound for a sum of generalised Kloosterman sums (of significance in the study of certain mean values of Hecke zeta-functions with groessencharakters).Our proofs make extensive use of Lokvenec-Guleska's generalisation of the Bruggeman-Motohashi summation formulae for P SL(2, Z[i])\P SL(2, C). We also employ a bound of Kim and Shahidi for the first eigenvalues of the relevant Laplace operators, and an 'unweighted' spectral large sieve inequality (our proof of which is to appear separately).
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
